Roughly 11,000 Homes Will Sell Today – Will Yours Be One of Them?

Are you reluctant to sell your house because you're concerned about current rates and market prices affecting buyer interest? Here's some perspective that might reassure you.

The housing market isn't frozen. Although sales last year weren't as high as in a typical market, approximately 4.15 million homes still sold, not including new constructions, according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR). Furthermore, sales are expected to increase in 2025. This indicates that more people are likely to move this year, and they'll be looking for homes—potentially yours.

Even if we only maintain the same sales pace as last year, here’s what that looks like:

Every Minute Homes Are Selling – Literally

• 4.15 million homes ÷ 365 days in a year = 11,370 homes sell each day
• 11,370 homes ÷ 24 hours in a day = 474 homes sell per hour
• 474 homes ÷ 60 minutes = roughly 8 homes sell every minute

Think about that. Just in the time it took you to read this, 8 homes sold.

If you've been hesitant to sell your house out of concern that there aren't any buyers, let this be a reassurance—buyers are indeed out there.

Despite the challenges of higher home prices and mortgage rates which have slowed the market somewhat and sidelined some buyers, the market remains active. Every day, thousands of people need to buy homes because life’s demands don’t pause for perfect market conditions.

Having the right agent by your side can help you reach those eager buyers while other homeowners may still be hesitating, concerned about diminished demand. Let’s take advantage of this opportunity and get your house sold.

Bottom Line
